Replying to an old thread of yours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13188673

That item handles mains voltage. Do not modify it. If you really need to modify it find a competent person to cut off the 3 prong mains plug, shorten the cable, and fit a new plug. The new plug will be ugly. A competent person is anyone who repairs electrical items - washing machine repair people for example. But, mostly, don't modify it.

I agree I know very little about electricity and current, voltage, amps, all that stuff. I don't really grok it. But code I get. Why are you replying to an old thread of mine here?

I didn't want you to kill yourself or others by electrocution or house fire because you fiddled around with a cable designed and built to meet some important safety specifications.
